Hello,

I pushed following updates:

commit c52487556013059e5cdd0ee91fd4bd4fbc39b1ab (HEAD, yocto/dizzy, for-dizzy)

    imx-base: Add virtual/libg2d to i.MX6's MACHINE_SOCARCH_FILTER
    
    The virtual/libg2d package is i.MX6 dependant and should put every
    package depending on it into the i.MX6's sub-architecture to avoid it
    being included in other architectures due package feed.

    linux-imx: Disable imx6sl-specific code when imx6sl SOC support is disabled
    
    Currently the build fails when CONFIG_SOC_IMX6SL is disabled, due to some
    hard-coded stuff. The patch purpose is to handle enabling/disabling this
    config option.

    The U-Boot 2009.08 has been removed so every version now supported

Hi Otavio,

Please revert this patch on dizzy. This is v1 of the patch, which is a 
complete disaster.

I've later sent v2 for 3.10.53 which is much better and is now applied 
to master. But v2 won't directly apply on 3.10.17 as it needs some massage.

Would you like me to send the reworked patch for 3.10.17/dizzy?

Kind regards,
Nikolay

It may seems to work, but is a barbaric solution. Please take a look at
the last proposed solution, hope you and others will like it more.

I will revert the current one and add the reworked one. Thanks for the heads up!

Did you tried the patch? I'm interested to know whether it worked for
you.

    I haven't tried your v2 patch due to the chinese new year.
I'll try this patch as soon as I get back from my parent's home.

cheers :D

Hi, Otavio:
    I just build a fresh yocto dizzy on my parent's computer, and
found there's no Nikolay V2 patch on linux-imx. where could I get it?
the V1 patch I get is from Nikolay's meta-freescale thread:
    https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-freescale/2015-February/012718.html

Please check with "repo info" that you're using "dizzy", and then do 
"repo sync". Then verify that the following patch is available:

sources/meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-imx-3.10.17/0002-ARM-imx6sl-Disable-imx6sl-specific-code-when-imx6sl-.patch

Also, this recipe...

sources/meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-imx_3.10.17.bb

...should contain the text:

SRC_URI += 
"file://0001-ARM-clk-imx6q-fix-video-divider-for-revision-1.0-of-.patch \
 
file://0002-ARM-imx6sl-Disable-imx6sl-specific-code-when-imx6sl-.patch \
"

If you're building kernel 3.10.17, there is zero chance for this to not 
work.

Nikolay

There's one case when these patches won't be applied to your kernel -
it's when you're working on a custom board and you're using your own
recipe for building FSL kernel 3.10.17.

You can solve this by:
1. Place your kernel recipe in meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/linux
alongside the Freescale's ones (not cool, but works)
2. Copy the patches in your custom layer and enable them in your
SRC_URI var (much better)

Kind regards,
Nikolay

Thanks, you're right. I'm using my own kernel recipe.

I revert your V1 patch and apply your V2 patch directly to my kernel and
reconfigure & rebuild the kernel.
everything works fine. I test all my test program(gstreamer apps, sound
record, sound play.... etc).

this patch is way much easier than V1.  :D
